If the PLA Marches Into HK

If that happens, we will have the first American president in decades who will have to be pressured to utter even tepid words of reproach.

For Trump has already signaled that he doesn't give a shit. In his soul, he's no less of a dictator than Xi.

FT link is behind a paywall. Maybe the DailyWire: https://www.dailywire.com/news/50732/chinese-troops-are-massing-hong-kongs-border-adin-blumofe

For those running firefox and chrome, I suggest Bypass Paywalls. They take a little bit of computer chops to install, as both browsers won't allow it to be a sanctioned add-on. But if you don't have hundreds of dollars for subscriptions...

All these paywalls - someone needs to set up an equiv of paypal for online articles, that supports micropayments. You refill your pool of µpayments, then use one for each article paywalled. The visited sites then hand every few hundred or however many in for a single lump payment large enough to be worth the transaction cost.

There's something of that for your favorite authors called Patreon

China is only threatening with para-military. I don't want to forecast that action for real money. The SCMP is a good eye to use for now:

Check out a site called outline.com. When you hit a paywall, copy-paste its URL into the box on outline and it tries to strip the paywall message...seems to work on maybe 80% of the paywall sites.
